The Duggars

That should be an easy one. I'll try and knock it out tonight.

I've added my 24th cousin twice removed, Unknown Profile. We'll do some more work to get him better set in the tree.

He's showing as 16th cousin to me Victar, through "the Bulkeley pedigree."

You're not going to best that. Great work.

AJ - you can throw "the Bulkeley pedigree" around as a buzzword to sound like a real genealogist and all. Not sure myself what it means but bottom line, the Rev or his wife is a gateway ancestor to the Holy Grail of Charlemagne - better known on Geni as Chuckie the clown (no disrespect intended to the Emperor ...)

His wife has a more (to me) entertaining line

Michelle Duggar (Ruark) is your 8th great uncle's brother's partner's 6th great nephew's wife

I'd like to know more about that Ruark name. Does this mean I have to go read People magazine?

You only just beat me Erica. Jim is my 18th cousin.

15th once removed through Boyden and Clarke.

14th cousin once removed. :)

He's my wife's 15th cousin twice removed through Unknown Profile.

Jim Bob Duggar is A.J. Jacobs' aunt's ex-husband's first cousin four times removed's wife's sister's husband's sister's husband's first cousin four times removed.

If someone can figure out his mother's line, that should be helpful.

Jim Duggar is my 14th cousin once removed.

Jim Bob's mother is the former Mary Lester, born about 1941. There aren't a lot of Lester families in Fayetteville or Springdale. I want to say she's a daughter of

And grand daughter of

But can't confirm it. Maybe I'll enter a tree - let in case.

Theoretically the Lester tree would start here

Thank you guys! This is fantastic. I'll let you know as soon as the interview is set up. I'll tell the Duggars about your crackerjack research.
Now I have to watch their show, I suppose. I've never seen it. Apparently, they have a lot of kids...

Jim Bob Is my 13th cousin... through the LIppincotts!!! (HELP!!!)

i'd love to ask how they handle all those kids with out feeling like they are in charge of a insane asylem!

another good one is kate +8

Thank you all! I will definitely ask Michael's question. I believe they have some sort of buddy system...

I was the oldest of three and i could barely manage 2 other brothers at times so i'm amazed how they would manage all of them..
hopefully one or two are older to keep all of them in line otherwise.. anyway http://www.geni.com/path/Michael-mccann-on-hiatus+is+related+to+A-J...

Jim Bob Duggar is my 8th cousin once removed. :0)

Unfortunately there's at least one bad link - Capt. Stephen Charlton, whose parentage is *unknown* and who may not belong to this family at all.

This tree is also being heavily messed with - the corruption is spreading.

Unknown Profile,

Let the curators know about the bad links and we will help to fix them.
